BIO
Todd Curtis has spent most of his career in aviation, first as a U.S. Air Force flight test engineer and later as a safety engineer at Boeing, analyzing airliner accidents and incidents and modeling aviation risks. He is also the author of the book 'Understanding Aviation Safety Data,' describing the process he and other aviation safety professionals use to assess and manage risk. Todd began studying UAP-related aviation risks after a UFO sighting directly above a passenger terminal at Chicago's O'Hare Airport in 2006. While the observed craft did not cause any damage or injury, Todd considered the absence of any public investigation of potential risks by the FAA and other government authorities to be inappropriate and irresponsible. In June 2024 spoke at the Contact in the Desert Conference about his discovery in a NASA aviation safety database of 13 events involving a suspected UAP, including several near midair collisions. He is currently analyzing over 11,000 drone-related incident reports compiled by the FAA and has found several dozen events that were possibly UAP-related.
